Shirataki Jozen Junmai Daiginjo Genshu DG175"Red"

The nose on this seasonally released celebration sake is a wonderful collection of cherry, melon, straw, and steamed rice aromas. Say hello to a smooth and round sake that is like clean richness in a glass. Jozen is known for their clean and dry sakes, and this special brew has that and then some. Plump and viscous it is chewy and very lush. Look for powder sugar, sweet rice, nougat, white chocolate and deep rich flavors on a body that keeps on going and going. This is one of the best “feeling” sakes in the business and the balance is world class. Smooth and rich sakes are great, but they tend to be bulky. This Niigata masterpiece drinks clean and feels delightful. WORD: Clean Richness WINE: Pinot Noir/Fat Whites BEER: Fat Ales FOODS: Complex fare, deep and rich cuisines with body.
